[DISCUSSION] Increasing Engagement?

Hey everyone, I wanted to make this post as this new algorithm change has changed many different things, including limits and engagement. Before June, clients were getting decent engagement, but after all of these recent changes, I have more and more clients asking me why their engagement has been starting to drop. I have been adjusting who I am following, going from people who are following 1100 people down to 900 people, but with this does come with a sacrifice in followers gained. What is everyone’s opinions on this?

Just to be sure, I am not going to put clients in any like exchange, seeing what I can do or advice I can give them to help with this. Before this may get discussed, I have talked with each client on how to implement hashtags correctly, placing them in the actual caption. always randomizing their hashtags, and using a mixture of hashtags which have different post counts ranging from 5000 posts to a max of 100K posts with a couple 500ks in there. Any other ideas? Thank you all in advance, let us all keep this discussion positive and helpful for anyone else who may be interested.

What are your results with hashtags? I feel as though they do not convert into new follower at a high frequency. For example per 1,000 accounts reached via hashtags how many follow? Hashtags are relevant though when driving profile clicks. Maybe there’s something I’m missing though…

Try shoutout exchange with other accounts in your niche.

What are your like settings? Mine target my followers, which help drive engagement

Same here. It helps with engagement ratio of the account. You can also use engagement groups.

Number of hashtags seem to contribute as well, apparently fewer better selected hashtags work better than more less specific hashtags.

This is actually a great idea. I see this happening more atm on IG.
I bet as the situation looks like right now people in the same niche can use shoutout exchange to boost ER. Nice one brother.
